Earlier today, we posted about a video showing off the Moto X ‘Moto Magic’ feature along with the full rundown of the phone’s specs thanks to some CPU-Z screenshots. Following that leak, a Roger’s promotion video of the Moto X has also leaked online, which shows off some of the new features of the phone.

The Roger’s video shows off the Moto X’s always-on voice commands, along with a new (weird?) gesture to start the camera.

The video also shows off a new notification technique that the Moto X will feature. Instead of an RGB LED, the screen of the X Phone will dimly lit and show the notification, only when the phone is not in the user’s pocket. In my opinion, this is much better than an RGB LED, because its not always possible to remember which color LED you assigned to a particular app for notification. However, it will be interesting to see how this new notification system is implemented and works in real-life compared to the promo video.

The video also confirms that the Moto X is indeed launching in August, and will be available exclusively on Rogers in Canada.
